How to Win the Mega Millions Jackpot

When you play Mega Millions online and match all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball, and you will be entitled to your share of a multi-million dollar jackpot. Mega Millions’ starting jackpot is $40,000,000. Mega Millions awarded a $656 million jackpot in March 2012, a world record the lottery held for 4 years. One third of this huge prize was won by the 'Three Amigos', three members of what is possibly the most famous winning lottery syndicate.

The Mega Millions world record stood until January 2016, when Powerball took over the crown as the lottery champion of the world with a $1.586 billion jackpot.
